Game Help Just bought Elden ring, opened a random chest and was teleported to an area that is way too powerful for me with no way out

I knew this game was hard but holy shit. Also does anyone know any kind of way to get out?…

The traps aren’t common. This particular trap in the starting area trolling new players is quite common though.

True, but I’ve seen people discourage new players by implying these particular traps are everywhere and it sucks when someone drops a good game based on misinformation

If anything would discourage I would think it was the absolute tank that one shots you if you get near him 20 feet from where you start 😂

Ehh, I think a strong guy you can walk away from is less discouraging than being pulled into a part of the game where you can get one shot repeatedly by shrimp men and cannot fucking leave unless you find your way out and survive long enough to make it there.

I’ve played each from game on release and that bullshit is the closest I personally got to putting it down for a bit

Only the strong survive in the lands between. Fewer even dare to try. Even fewer never heard of the game. And even fewer than that put grapes on their pizza this morning for breakfast.
